Who We Are

We're 2.6 million strong—1.8 million girls and 800,000 adults who
believe in the power of every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator,
Risk-taker, Leader)™ to change the world.

Our extraordinary journey began more than 100 years ago with the
original G.I.R.L., Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low. On March 12, 1912, in
Savannah, Georgia, she organized the very first Girl Scout troop, and
every year since, we’ve honored her vision and legacy, building girls
of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.

We’re the preeminent leadership development organization for girls.
And with programs from coast to coast and across the globe, Girl
Scouts offers every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of
leadership, adventure, and success.

Our Mission

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character,
who make the world a better place.

Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at
all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be honest and fair,
friendly and helpful, considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and
do, and to respect myself and others, respect
authority, use resources wisely, make the world a
better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.
